Yes I know! We're very lucky. I said in my cover letter along with DS 2001 that as of July 29 I would be alone, 4 1/2 months pregnant, and caring for my toddler as my USC husband will have left for CA to start new job and that I was going to be with family in France from Aug 6th for the rest of the month to get help with everything especially as I suffer from a very bad back because of the pregnancy. And I asked if at all possible if my interview could either be before my departure or on my return in early September.
I guess someone actually read it and got out of bed on the right side that day!!
We feel very lucky...
So in just over a week, we should be able to breath more easily!

Update as we changed the medical date to sooner:

2/4 Sent I-130
2/10 Received receipt of notice date 2/7
5/14 Received approval for next go round
7/17 Sent in DS-230 and shows received 7/19
7/27 Sent in DS-2001 and cover letter asking for interview in September or November as husband cannot take off of work month of October. Put our travel dates as a range between Dec 17-Feb 7th. Not sure if that will screw things up in terms of giving them such a wide range but so be it. Letter is in the post!
8/8 Medical Exam
?/? Interview date (hopefully)
